💟 On the evening of February 13th, a knock at the door might just mean a visit from Jack Valentine—Norfolk’s very own mysterious gift-giver. Known for leaving small surprises on doorsteps and vanishing without a trace, Jack brings a unique touch of magic to Valentine’s celebrations.

Children (and sometimes grown-ups too!) listen eagerly for that knock, only to discover a treat with no clue who left it. It’s a charming tradition that blends mystery, kindness, and a little bit of local folklore.

🌟 Have you ever been visited by Jack Valentine?

We’d love to hear your stories and memories!

Pop in and share over a cuppa or drop us a message online—we’ll be collecting a few of our favourites for a special display.
